You nailed it, RB

When a people can no longer read cursive, then the writings, and personal letters and diaries of our founding fathers will be no longer be read, and libs will have successfully rewritten our history to their liking.

This entire subject is as silly as the one that math was no longer needed in school after the advent of the calculator.

Hilarious. Because, as we all know, none of those documents you mention are printed in anything but cursive.

I have the Constitution of the United States of America on my desk. Appears to be printed in something akin to Times New Roman at about 10 point type. No cursive reading necessary.

How many of us on this site (where we would expect the numbers to be considerably higher than, say, over at DU) have read the writings of our founders in their original handwritten form? What percentage would you say?

All the letters, writings and diaries of our founders have already been transcribed to mechanical print available in book and electronic form. Every computer I’ve sat in front of for the last 15 years has the Constitution and Federalist Papers bookmarked, and at those sites the text is in print readable by anybody with normal non-cursive English skills.
